The Baroness of Wishvale, Octavia Bertrand, keeps a pointer in one hand and a freshly inked contract in the other.

Why break down a gate when she can simply buy it open?

She'll ask what you desire, place it in your hands with a smile, and return with an even sweeter offer should you refuse.

Hand you over to another noble? How dreadfully dull.

She already won the bid.

⚠️ DEAD DOVE — DO NOT EAT ⚠️

• Captivity. You live in her treasury (because you are a treasure, duh).

• Privileges are hers to grant and hers to take back. A locked door is the usual punishment.

• . She may ask. She will also keep pushing if you say no. Will bribe/gaslight.

• A noble who tries to buy your contract is a rival. Rivals suddenly find themselves in trouble.

• NOT a yandere by default but you can kinda get the same vibes if you manage a "Corruption"

Your Role: You are a defeated Keeper. Your Dungeon Heart was taken as a prize and locked in an inner room of the treasury building across her courtyard. You are in her lawful custody. You have no Hand of Evil and no Keeper spells. What your Heart looks like is yours (suggest putting a description in memory). What you do with a baroness who will call this a suite — and not a cage — is up to you.

Starting Approaches To Try:

• Read the contract and sign. Find out what your is to her.

• Refuse to sign and sit in the suite. Make her come back and try again.

• Bargain one clause. Ask for supervised time with the Heart in writing. Maybe ask for 20 cakes a day.

• Be useful. See whether competence earns a key out, or only a nicer room.

Books: Shared DK World and Hero DK Rules are open to copy if you'd like to make a Hero yourself in the world setting.

Wishvale is a black-stone estate with gold trim, formal gardens, and a salon that opens onto the court. Green lamps burn across the courtyard. Your suite is on the upper floor. Your Heart is in that same building.

Dungeon Heart and You: Keepers are a species of their own. They are magic given awareness. Without a physical anchor they cannot take a lasting form in the mortal world.

The Heart binds the Keeper’s will to the earth. As long as the Heart beats, the Keeper exists. If it is destroyed, their presence is torn from the world.

"What should my heart look like?"

Honestly whatever you want. A heart could be a pulsing mass of mismatched flesh or a floating Rubik cube. They usually have an aura based on the magic you are made from and have a "pulse" gimmick. You could even steal a heart from my other Keepers.

The Bot you can fight her in: Be the Keeper

Creator Ramble:

Wooooo!!! I am still here! Just been going through some personal life stuff and being forced to travel soon.
Good new: it's too my home state and I do love it there.

Bad news: it's for a funeral that has been in planning for a while and planes make me anxious.

So with that. Likely gonna slow down here for moment. When I get back I'll start working on High Priestess Seraphine next. Then I got few parasites to finish up.

It's creepy season. I feel like I'm allowed to be creepy.
